The steel pen is an exceedingly modern in
vention. Any person past middle age can
remember when its Use became general in
America. Before that time the quill pen was
universal, and to make or sharpen it for his
pupils was one of the chief tasks of the school
master. Many persons still employ this
archaic instrument, driving to madness all
who are within hearing of its more narrowing
sound. The utter inability of the present
generation to listen to the scratching of the
quill pen is one of the most startling evidences
of the increase of nervous disorders among US.
Thepretended preference for it is generally an
affectation.
The name of the person who first used a
quill pen has not been preserved, and the loss
has not been seriously felt. 1t was probably
some monk or learned clerk" of the middle
ages who found that it could usefully supple
ment the stylus with which he was illuminat-
ing manuscript. The quill might have
easily been suggested by the bodkin made of
the bone of bird or other animal transmitted
from the Romans to the medieval monks, or
by the sharpened reed, also used by the
Romans and still in use among the Arabs.
The Chinese and Japanese use sort of brush
in writing, and when well instructed write
rapidly and with artistic skill. -San Francisco
Chronicle.

MAGIC.

The say IL all December gray,
The forest roads the dark has shut.
And /, since have lost my way,
Sit shivering in PEASANTS hut.
A dearthful prospect meets the eye
Bare walls of clay, no cushioned seat;
OF any food a scant supply,
A shy mouse whisking round my feet.
The door, quick opened, brings gust
OF icy air, like rapier blue;
The plague we cali existence must
Be faced another hour or two.
But hist, what enters by the door.
And throwing dusky wraps aside,
Steps softly on the earthern floor,
And stirs the fire that else had diedf
"A girl, a peasant, but the prize
From natures careless lottery thrown,
Brown hair, warm lips, and soft blue eyes,
woman blossom newly blown.
Prestissimo, the walls are bright,
No sky transcends these rafters old;
Dead elements of life ignite:
Ino mere shiver with the cold.

When reached Central Soudan the sights

which bespeaks the man who has proper re-
spect for himself. | saw on all sides the signs

cloth being made in-one place, and dyed or
sewn into gowns or other articles of dress in
other places.
In the markets, crowded with eager thou
sands, could see how varied were the wants
of these negro people, how manifold the pro-
auctions of their industry and how keen their
business instincts. Almost more remarkable
than anything else, no native beer or spirits,
no European gin and rum, found place in
their markets. Clearly there were no buyers,
and therefore no sellers. Outside the towns,
again, no forest covered the land; the density
of the population and its numerous require
ments had made the virgin forest thing Of
the past, and its place was taken by various
cereals, by cotton and indigo and other vege-
table productions which minister to the inner
and outer man.
What could have produced this great
changes for that change had occurred

with Europeans had had nothing to do with
it. The character of the industries, the style
of art, indicated certain amount of Moor
ish influence, giving them the direction which
they had assumed How had the first great
steps been takeni No Moors or Arabs were
TO be seen among the people. No such races

ARE PASSES REMITTEDe
As to the Newspapers, Senator Cul
lOm Thinks Yea.

Bat 1t Would be better III the Roads
Cease Their Use---The Interstate
Commerce TELEGRAPH
Regulation Next
The newspapers all over tie county
are sgitating the pass prospects under
the new interstate commerce law, and
no little amount of curiosity, and in
some sections anxiety, has been aroused.
The action of the c., NJ. & st. p, was
described 10 the ARGUS Of last night, but
what construction the other western
trunk lines will put upon the law. is not
yet known. Senator Cullom who is
credited with being the chief promoter of
the bill, was surrounded by q number of
reporters while passing newspaper row
in Washington the other day, and the
result was quite long interview. about
the bill in general.
There appears" the senator said, ito
exist a misunderstanding in regard to
the issuance Of passes, but it was our
intention to include that matter. If a
railroad company sees proper to pay for
its advertising for free transportation. as
no doubt has been the custom Except
that heretofore the railroads have gotten
more than they gave OUT the bill does
not prevent it, If Senator Brown had
not construed the bill as interfering with
the pass system, aud insisted upon his
amendment. which provided for the
issuance OF half-rate tickets to clergy
men, nsthing would have been said about
passes In my opinion, however, it is
time 10 have these matters adjusted. II
company gets special rates for adver-
Using il should give special facilities to
those who give the rates. There is moth
ing in the bill which absolutely prohibits
the issuance of passes. The whole thing
is an inference, but suppose will be
taken advantage of in many instances. !"
Il understand" said one of the cores
poudents, chat the newspapers will now
keep more accurate accounts with the
railroads"
Should they do this" said the senator,
they will come out ahead. / do not
approve of Mr.. President So>and- So
getting long accounts of his iourneying
around the world pu biished unless he
pays for them in kind"
us it true, senator inquired another
OF the correspondents, that you con-
template introducing an interstate tele-
graph bill?"
II see it has been so stated, he re-
piled, ''but am not quite prepared to
discuss that question. l have alluded to
it, and believe the telegraph question
needs looking into, but there is ample
time for that
During the course of other remarks the
senator said the interstate commerce bill
was not exactly what he wanted, but it
was the best he thought he could get.
Referring to the personnel of the COM
mission, Senator Cullom disclaimed any
knowledge of who would be appointed.
He thought, however, that Col. Morrison
would be one of the members.

The We,teru settlers Chosen specific.

With every advance of emigration into
the far west, new demand is created
for Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Newly
peopled regionsare frequently less salu-
brious than older settled localities, on
account of the miasma which rises from
recently cleared land, particularly along
the banks Of the rivers that are subject
to freshets. The agricultural or mining
emigrant soon learns, when he does not
already know, that the bitters afford the
only sure protection against malaria, and
those disorders of the stomach, liver and
bowels, to which climate changes. ex,
